This item was produced by Negma in France, and for some time was the last
remaining injectable worldwide that contained the extremely potent steroid
trenbolone. It was discontinued in 1997 however, and currently no real
Parabolan can be found on the black market. This profile is still included for

You may associate trenbolone with the long deceased Finajet, a veterinary
steroid that was popular in the United States during the 1980's. Finajet
contained trenbolone acetate, which was a very fast acting form of this drug
(see: trenbolone acetate). Parabolan contains a much different ester,
trenbolone hexahydrobenzylcarbonate. This ester extends the activity of the
drug for more than two weeks, a more suitable design for human use. Parabolan
is packaged only in ampules of l.5ml, one ampule per a box. Each ampule
contains 76mg of trenbolone hexahydrobenzylcarbonate, equivalent to 50mg of
trenbolone base (French drugs commonly make this calculation).

Trenbotone is a very potent androgen with strong anabolic activity. It is well
suited for the rapid buildup of strength and muscle mass, usually providing the
user exceptional results in a relatively short time period. The anabolic effect
of this drug is often compared to popular bulking agents such as testosterone
or Dianabol, with one very important difference. Trenbolone does not convert to
estrogen. This is indeed a very unique compound since mass drugs, almost as a
rule, will aromatize (or cause other estrogen related troubles) heavily. When
we think of taking milder (regarding estrogen) steroids we usually expect much
weaker muscle growth, but not so with Parabolan. Here we do not have to worry
about estrogen related side effects, yet still have an extremely potent
mass/strength drug. There is no noticeable water retention, so the mass gained
during a cycle of Parabolan will be very hard and defined (providing fat levels
are low enough). Gynecomastia is also not much of a concern, so there shouldn't
be any need to addition an antiestrogen if trenbolone is the only steroid
administered.

The high androgen level resulting from this steroid, in the absence is excess
estrogen, can also accelerate the burning of body fat. The result should be a
much tighter physique, hopefully without the need for extreme dieting.
Parabolan can therefore help bring about an incredibly hard, ripped physique
and is an ideal product for competitive bodybuilders. This is of course no
secret, and when available on the market, Parabolan was the most sought after
contest preparation drug. Now this it is no longer produced, acceptable
substitutes for this purpose include of course veterinary trenbolone acetate
preparations, as well as Halotestin®, Proviron® and Masteron (also recently
discontinued).

Trenbolone is notably more potent than testosterone, and has an effect that is
as much as three times as strong on a milligram for milligram basis. Likewise
we can expect to see some level of androgenic side effects with use of this
compound. Oily skin, aggressive behavior, acne and hair loss are therefore not
uncommon during a cycle with this steroid. The androgenic nature of this drug
of course makes it a very risky item for women to use, the chance for
virilization symptoms extremely high with such a potent androgen. And since the
hexahydrobenzylcarbonate ester will extend the activity of this drug for weeks,
blood levels can be very difficult to control. Since many of the masculinizing
side effects associated with steroid use can be permanent, women considering
the use of this compound should take extreme caution. It can be weeks before
blood levels decline should a problem become evident.

Trenbolone is also much more potent than testosterone at suppressing endogenous
androgen production. This makes clear the fact that estrogen is not the only
culprit with negative feedback inhibition, as here there is no buildup of this
hormone to report here. There is however some activity as a progestin inherent
in this compound, as trenbolone is a 19-nortestosterone (nandrolone) derivative
(a trait characteristic of these compounds). However it seems likely that much
of its suppressive nature still stems from its powerful androgen action. With
the strong impact trenbolone has on endogenous testosterone, of course the use
of a stimulating drug such as HCG and/or Clomid®/Nolvadex® is recommended when
concluding steroid therapy (a combination is preferred). Without their use it
may take a prolonged period of time for the hormonal balance to resume, as the
testes may at first not be able to normally respond to the resumed output of
endogenous gonadotropins due to an atrophied state. Those who have used
Parabolan regularly would often claim it to be indispensable. A weekly dosage
of 3 ampules (228mg) was the most popular range when running a cycle, however
many did find it highly effective in lesser amounts. Although a weekly
administration schedule would prove sufficient, athletes usually injected a
single ampule per application, the total amount spread evenly throughout the
week. While Parabolan is quite potent when used alone, it was generally
combined with other steroids for an even greater effect. Leading up to a show
one could successfully add a non-aromatizing anabolic such as Winstrol® or
Primobolan®. Such combinations will elicit a greater level density and hardness
to the build, often proving dramatic to a stage appearance. We could also look
for bulk with this drug, and addition stronger compounds like Dianabol or
Testosterone. While the mass gain would be quite formidable with such a stack,
some level of water retention would probably also accompany it. Moderately
effective anabolics such Deca-Durabolin® or Equipoise® would be somewhat of a
halfway point, providing extra strength and mass but without the same level of
water bloat we see with more readily aromatized steroids.

The main problem with Parabolan historically was that it had always been
extremely difficult to obtain. While it was manufactured the demand for this
drug was huge. On top of that it was also often scarcely available because it
was made only in limited lots in France. Now even in the former country of
production, none can be found. Some counterfeits still circulate today, so it
is important to stress the fact that you can no longer find legitimate
Parabolan on the black market.
